Hi, I am Super Smiley, Laney’s dog. I want to discover how many books there are in the world. I will do that by creating a company that every book has to go through. It will have every book counted as it is printed. It will also find out the level of the book. Then it will be filed by its level. The books will be counted by level, too. After that, the book will be sent to book stores, and libraries around the world. My next project is to find out how many libraries and book stores there are in the world. I cannot wait to find out how many books exist!

PROBLEM:
How Do We Build a Catapult?
ASK:
What is Our Challenge?
The Angry Bird Competition is on … Angry Bird and Piggy Friends unite! To retrieve your stolen eggs, Angry Birds, your team will need to build a catapult with only the materials provided to you, as outlined in the following steps of this “Small Group Challenge: Marshmallow Catapults”: Challenge: Each group will design and build a marshmallow catapult using the following materials: 1 meter of masking tape; 2 plastic cups; 4 rubber bands; 2 plastic spoons; 2 paper clips; 15 cm x 15 cm piece of cardboard; large (standard size) and small (mini size) marshmallows to launch. Goal: Launch a marshmallow at least 5 meters (in the air) and not outside of a ½ meter width. What is a Catapult?

A catapult is a medieval, simple mechanism used to fight in battles. It propels stones, spears, or other objects. Catapults have one arm that shoots forward when throwing things. Catapults use tension from rope or using weight to get energy. They use force. To build my catapult, materials are marshmallows, glue, a weight, a cup, string, and tape.
IMAGINE:
What are Some Solutions?
What is the Best Possible Solution?
Why did Our Team Choose This Solution?
PLAN:
What is a Diagram / Orthographic Design of Our Prototype?
CREATE:
What does Our Finished Construct Look Like?
IMPROVE:
What works, what doesn't work, and what could work better from Our Testing?
What are We going to do to address the Challenges We Faced with Our Construct?

How do We Catapult Ourselves into Problem Based Learning?
